Ka, she was the counter girl of the greatest establishment with regards to business and trading in the whole Soaring Cloud City, the Thousands Treasure Pavilion. She was the one who would entertain the guests and customers whoe in to Thousands Treasure Pavilion. She would answer and guide the guests ording to their inquiries and appointment. But, such a life became increasingly duller as each day passes.
"Is this really my fate? To be a counter girl for the ready of my life?" Ka felt resigned to her fate.
She was only 18 years old and a great beauty at that. That was why she got the job of being a counter girl because her refreshing face would make the costumers feel more attracted to vising the Thousands Treasure Pavilion. She could have gotten a higher position but she never had any talent with regards to cultivation. This was the reason why the Human Resources Officer of the pavilion could only offer her this job.
She proved to have good memory and speak fluently. So she was given this job which was perfectly aligned with all of his good points. So with no choice, Ka epted the job at the very least she had a big sum as ie so she did not have any qualms with the job. She was evenmended for her services because ever since she became the counterdy, the customer rate of the Thousands Treasure Pavilion has increased by 8%. She became popr to the masses especially to the men.
It was just as any day has gone for Ka. Customers kepting in and out of the pavilion. She became dull from this atmosphere. No matter how bustling and how lively this ce would get, she was already used to it after working here for two years. Despite being 18, she was only High 2nd level Spirit Core which was slightly better than the Dn in the past. When someone reached 18, the normal speed was that he/she reached the 3rd level Spirit Core Realm. That was why she was deemed to be a below average cultivator.
"What''s? happening over there?" Ka curiously tilted her head when she saw that there was a group of people that were moving towards the counter. They were seemingly surrounding a person in the middle. When they reached the gates, a dashing man went forward from the center of the crowd.
The man was dashing, so dashing that he almost seemed like a prince. Ha had an above average built taller than most men, his skin was healthy white and his somewhat formal clothes were like a prince''s clothing. His hair was jet ck and his eyes was strikingly attractive. This was none other than Dn. Dnpletely transformed overnight, he bore even more resemnce to his old appearance now. His appearance was now a perfect fusion of 50/50 of his previous life''s appearance and his current. This was because of his sudden advancement in strength that added this type of effect.
"Where did such a handsome man came from?" Ka felt her heart being captivated by the smile of that handsome young man.
"Sir Dn, you are so handsome."
"Sir Dn, I love you!"
"Sir Dn, please take me as your wife!"
"Dream on! Sir Dn will take me, not you!"
"Feeler!"
"I''m the most beautiful here so stop, sir Dn will pick me!"
"How narcissistic of you! Sir Dn will surely pick me"
"Ngoooo, swir, Diwan wiw pik miii!!"
All types of girls were screaming how much they are in love with Dn. Some were beautiful, some were ugly, some were seductive, some even had disability in speaking or standing. They were all attracted to this man.
''Dn? Is that Dn Ford? He''s that Owner of the restaurant called Gardenford Restaurant... Why is he here?'' Ka thought to herself.
She was even more surprised when the young man suddenly approached her. She got to admit that the way this Dn Ford walked was undoubtedly hot. She felt her face getting hot with every step this man took closer to her. When Dn reached the counter, her heart was beating fast. She wanted to look at his face but as her gaze climbed up to the face of that tall figure, she was able to see his broad shoulders, his entuated Adam''s apple, his calm, pleasant smile and his attractive space ck eyes that could suck a person''s soul into it.
"Good afternoon, may I ask about something?" Dn asked.
"Uh... Y-yes..." Ka absentmindedly spoke.
"May I ask if Pavilion Head Ggher is here?" Dn smiled in a charming way without even trying to.
"Yes.... He.... Is..." Ka could only speak broken words in the face of such charm.
"May I trouble, miss, to guide me to his office?" Dn kindly asked for a favor.
"Yes..." Ka dazedly said.
"Thank you very much, young miss." Dn smiled.
"Oh I''m sorry for being rude. I have yet to introduce myself. My name is Dn Ford. May I ask about yours?" Dn self-introduced.
"Me... My name is... Ka Mae..." Ka spoke brokenly.
"Please lead the way, Miss Mae." Dn spoke with a faint smile.
Ka lead the way to the office of Pavilion Head Ggher. The Thousands Treasure Pavilion was a 3 storey building. In the topmost floor was where the office of Pavilion Head Ggher could be found. Each floor was intricately designed and well developed. This amazed Dn because the construction here maybe different than how it was in Earth but it was nearlyparable to some business firms in some ways.
''How fascinating.'' Dn eyes glittered in his thoughts.
As they continued to walk, they arrived at the third floor and there was a door that was decorated with about 120 types of weapons, armors, and misceneous equipments that were suitable for battle.
''So this is the famous Door of treasures, huh?'' Dn remembered some details pertaining the Thousands Treasure Pavilion. A branch head is ranked ording to the number of treasures in his door. A head with 10 treasures would be recognized as a 10 Treasures Head while someone with a hundred or more treasures is called a 100 Treasures Head. The highest rank a branch head could reach is 500 Treasures Head because it is said that 500 and above are ranks of the elders on the Thousands Treasure Pavilions Headquarters.
"So sir Ggher is a 120 Treasures Head eh?" Dn said.
While Dn was thinking of various things, Ka was panicking because they had already arrived at the Door of treasures. She did not know why she did what Dn told her willingly but she was terrified because? how could a counter girl like her bring a businessman to the Pavilion Head Ggher''s office without setting an appointment?!
"Thank you, Miss Mae. You may leave me if you want." Dn said.
"Please, you may just address me as Ka, sir Dn." Ka was finally able to reply with courteousness.
"Okay, Miss Ka. I will be proceeding to the office now." Dn smiled.
"Wait-" But before she could stop him, Dn had already opened the door and entered the office. When Dn entered he saw a ornamentally designed office, one could denote that the person who works here was a peace loving person. Dn saw a desk in front with a middle aged man was resting with his eyes closed. The man had a serene expression on his face but it suddenly slowly unclosed as it felt a foreign presence within his vicinity.
Dn was in faint shock when he saw this the perception of this man was amazing but when he saw that Ka was turning ashened face as those eyes slowly opened, her fright turned to horror.
The middle aged man''s serene face changed when those serious and stern eyes opened. He seemed to be a totally different personpared to him sleeping. His ck long hair followed him when he stood up and his arms was sped behind his back as his aura of 15th level of Awakened Spirit Realm burst forth.
"WHO ARE YOU? WHY DID YOU COME TO MY OFFICE WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT?!" The middle aged man shouted in a deep stern voice.
"I-I''m v-very sorry Pavilion Head~" Ka tried to exin when Dn stepped forward without hesitation as he introduced who he was.
"Greetings, Pavilion Head Ggher, My name is Dn Ford, the owner of the Gardenford Restaurant." Dn calmly introduced himself with a fine bow.
"Dn Ford? Gardenford Restaurant? The newly rising Business?" Pavilion Head Ggher was obviously discontented.
"I don''t care who you are! But, how dare you audaciouslye here!?!" Pavilion Head Ggher was getting extremely angry at the moment.
"I can exin, sir~" Ka tried to exin but Dn kept butting in.
"Calm down, Pavilion Head, the others will be arriving any moment now. Then, we could have a proper discourse." Dn consoled Pavilion Head Ggher as he smiled faintly.
"Others? Discourse? What nonsense are you talking about?!" Pavilion Head Ggher became beyond furious by this seemingly act of mystery this Dn Ford was ying. But, suddenly...
"GALAGHER!!!" Another angry voice resounded as the door was kicked open with two individuals appearing. The first was a brown haired man with a savage wolverine like expression on his face and his showing muscles were filled with scars that was evidently from beasts. Thetter was a person of calmness, he wore a schrly robe and with a monks air around him. The former was the Guild Master of the Hundred Hunters Guild and the Garden Owner of the Misty Herb Garden.
"What the f*ck was that letter all about?! Having a business meeting and you demand for I, Blood Wolf, to here in a specified time?! How arrogant can you be?!" Guild Master Blood Wolf was enraged beyond any reasonable doubt.
"Blood Wolf, contain your anger. But, he is right, Ggher. Since when did you have the guts to order us around? Remember you may be the biggest establishment within this city but we are not some pushovers you can treat lightly!" The Garden Owner whose name was Elmer Green was clearly infuriated as well.
Their auras filled the room and this made Ka, 2nd level Spirit Core practitioner, unable to hold on.
''The- the three giants are all ga-gathered here?! Just from their pressures alone, I feel like I am about to be crushed to death.'' Ka thought in horror as she felt like she was about to copse when a hand grabbed her and she suddenly felt a warm energy enveloping her.
"Are you alright?" Dn said as he covered Ka with his aura.
"Ye-yes." She answered embarassingly.
She was blushing because there has never been a man who held her like this before.
''Its warm'' She thought.
"Wait here?, I''ll just do something quickly" Dn gifted her with some of his energy to ward off the warring energies in the environment.
"Okay. Where are you going?" Ka asked but Dn was already walking forward.
''Ehhh?! Why is he heading there?! Is he trying to court death?!'' Ka wasplete and utter shock when she saw what Dn did. She was dumbfounded and did not know what was going on.
But as she felt like so, the three experts were arguing.
"What letter? I never sent any letter to either one of you!" Pavilion Head Ggher retorted.
"Preposterous!" Guild Master Blood Wolf shouted.
"Did I put my name on it?" Pavilion Head Ggher asked angrily. He was clearly infuriated by being used of doing something he never did.
"No... But, it said that wee here by 2." Garden Owner Elmer Green replied.
"Then, how are you sure it was me?!" Pavilion Head Ggher defended.
"Because the meeting ce was your office!" Guild Master Blood Wolf roared.
"Then, how are you not sure that it may just be because he/she wants us to have a war that would either benefit our businesses and lead it their own destructions?!" Pavilion Head Ggher debated.
"Ugh... You''re right, Ggher. We''re sorry for letting our emotions got ahead of us." Garden Owner Elmer Green apologized as well as Guild Master Blood Wolf when they realized it. They felt used because of this.
"But if it wasn''t you, then who did?" Guild Master Blood Wolf had a savage expression when he asked..
"I did." A voice resounded.
"Who?... You?!" Pavilion Head Ggher was shocked out of his wits!
"Who are you?" Garden Owner Elmer Green grimly said.
"F*cking brat! How dare you!" Guild Master was truly wrathful now because he felt angered being ordered around by a little brat.
"My name is Dn Ford. Nice to meet you all." Dn stood calmly in face of this 3 giants and smiled confidently.
When Ka heard of this she knew and thought, ''I''m done for...''
